6.4.5 Rebuilding An Array
This command effectively copies or overwrites data from an existing data drive in the
array on to a blank drive. The operation will be typically used when a failed drive has been
replaced with a new drive as part of a mirrored array.
To perform a Rebuild, choose the Array Tab View.
Right click the array number and choose Rebuild from the context menu.
Once Rebuild is selected, you will be asked to “Initialize Rebuild process on Array #” by
clicking OK.
Using Rebuild Wizard
Initiating rebuild array will open the Rebuild Wizard Step 1 screen shown below.
Select the Target drive which will receive data. Make sure you select the blank new or
replacement drive. The unselected drive will contain “good” data. It will be the remaining
working drive of an array, or a system drive containing existing data that you wish to mirror.
WARNING: Make absolutely sure and double-check which drive is which. If data exists on the
target drive, it will be over-written.
Click the Next button to proceed to Rebuild Wizard Step 2 or Cancel button to stop.
